Horsemanship Awareness

April 12, 2016 By admin

These pictures with lines are illustrating how to transfer focused energy down to the horse’s feet. This comes out of the use of a clear mental picture, knowing exactly where to place the horse’s feet and these lines represent exactly where to place the contact. The contact point is where the horse will feel and that feel will be relayed to the horses mind and expressed in the movement of the foot. This is how we transfer our thoughts through the horses mind down to his feet.
